Chapter 360 – Mirage Yin Filth
Chapter 360 – Mirage Yin Filthy Qi
About half an hour later, Shen Ye returned to the house where Lu Xuan was in a flurry of wind.
“Senior Brother Lu, fortunately, after hearing that you are about to successfully improve a new Third Grade Sword Grass, the Sword Hall Master did not hesitate to agree to hand over this Sword Peacock Spirit Seed to you for cultivation.”
“Tough luck Senior Brother Shen.”
Lu Xuan got up and said gratefully.
The many Sword Grasses he had turned in earlier had rewarded him with nearly a thousand Sword Seals after a Sword Hall disciple specializing in this had counted them.
When Shen Ye had gone ahead to apply for the Sword Peacock Spirit Seed, he had additionally obtained twenty Ordinary Second Grade Sword Grasses.
Although ordinary sword grasses were not of high grade, they had great compatibility and were suitable for most nature of sword qi, and could be used to experiment with improved sword grasses.
In addition, three third-grade Starlight Swordgrasses were also obtained.
He currently didn’t have any extra time to cultivate a new Third Grade Sword Skill, so he chose the Starlight Swordgrass Spirit Seed that had considerable attainments in the corresponding Sword Skill.
“This is the Sword Peacock Spirit Seed, as well as the corresponding sword skill.”
“The sword skill is called ‘Peacock Sword Formation’, and it involves the differentiation of sword qi, as well as the arrangement of sword formations, which is rather profound, however, I believe that Senior Brother will be able to comprehend it very quickly.”
Shen Ye had full confidence in Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was helpless in his heart, after cultivating numerous sword grasses and even improving a third-grade sword grass, the Sword Hall, which was dominated by Shen Ye, seemed to have a misunderstanding of him, thinking that he was a once-in-a-century sword dao genius.
“I can only properly cultivate this Peacock Sword Formation.”
After obtaining the many Sword Grass Spirit Seeds, Lu Xuan bid farewell to Shen Ye and returned inside the cave.
Inside the house, he pressed the jade sketch containing the Peacock Sword Formation against his forehead, and his spiritual energy was stimulated, and instantly, a massive amount of information poured into his sea of consciousness, causing his entire mind to become an ocean of knowledge that was almost about to explode.
The cultivation of the Sword Peacock was a bit more complicated than the Sword Thousand Lords.
It involved the grafting of ordinary sword grasses, sword qi differentiation, and the principles of sword formations.
Lu Xuan probably understood it clearly and came to the spirit field to take out the Sword Peacock Spirit Seed.
The shape of the spirit seed was extremely strange, as if a much shrunken peacock had opened its screen, and on its spreading wings, there were hundreds of sword qi plumes as thin as hair.
The sword qi was constantly changing, combining into various arcane and obscure sword formations.
He executed the Earth Drawing Technique and placed the Sword Peacock Spirit Seed into the spiritual soil.
His mind condensed on the spirit seed, and a message surfaced from his mind.
[Sword Peacock, Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant, growth stage requires dividing sword qi and stimulating cultivation in the form of sword formations, after maturity, it can divide numerous sword qi with infinite variations, instantly forming various sword formations.]
[Opening the screen doesn’t just mean beauty.]
“The cultivation method is indeed quite complicated, however, once it is cultivated, it will be a great help.”
“A sword grass that contains a sword formation is as powerful as can be imagined.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed.
He was currently unable to do any normal cultivation, so he only had to perform the Spirit Rain Technique of the Patriarchal Realm, with wisps of spiritual energy
seeped into the Spirit Seed, barely maintaining its vitality.
“I’ll have to think about how to restore Senior Sister Su’s Sword Peacock next.”
After Lu Xuan planted the Spirit Seed, he took out Su Manman’s severely damaged Sword Peacock.
“Try inserting it into the Raising Xuan Sword Sheath first.”
He had a sudden idea to see if the invulnerable ancient scabbard could get rid of the black spots and black qi on the sword.
With a thought, the small emerald green sword was slowly pulled out of the scabbard.
It could be seen that the scabbard fit perfectly with the emerald green sword, and the process of pulling it out dragged on and on, continuously seeping out the turquoise aura that contained rich vitality and vigor.
“Come and try out the new Great Treasure Sword!”
Lu Xuan ruthlessly pushed the sword peacock, which was haunted by a black aura, through the aura film at the entrance of the scabbard, directly reaching the deepest part of the scabbard. “Hm?”
Soon, he sensed a hint of something wrong.
The scabbard had regained some spirituality after the constant insertion of high-grade flying swords, and Lu Xuan could probably sense its thoughts.
Under his spiritual sense perception, after the insertion of the Sword Peacock with black spots, the Raising Xuan Sword Scabbard expressed an uncomfortable feeling from head to toe.
As time passed, this uncomfortable feeling grew stronger and stronger, and the scabbard that had already been reclaimed by numerous flying swords showed a rare sense of resistance.
Lu Xuan keenly sensed the emotions of the ancient scabbard and hurriedly pulled out the damaged sword Peacock.
There was a plopping sound.
A wisp of miserable green aura gushed out along with it.
The aura landed on the rocks on the ground and made a nuisance sound, quickly coloring a large piece of stone into a miserable green color, mixed with a trace of fishy smell.
“It can’t be a disease yet, can it?”
Lu Xuan had a worry in his eyes.
“Aiya, it’s fine.”
He looked at the ancient sword sheath that was constantly spewing out miserable green aura and spoke out in a comforting voice.
It was good that after a few moments of spewing out, the scabbard finally returned to normal, but it seemed to have a slight shadow over the insertion of flying swords into the body, and was extremely resistant to the insertion of the emerald green small sword or the Wind and Thunder Sword into the scabbard.
“Remember to take proper protective measures in the future.”
Lu Xuan said in a nonchalant manner and continued to shift his gaze to the damaged sword peacock.
“It seems that for now, we can only resolve these black spots of black qi before we can put it into the scabbard to warm it up.”
With a thought, he decided that it would be better to try planting the damaged Sword Peacock first to see if he could get the appropriate information.
After all, the way the sword grass was harvested was a bit different from other spiritual plants, it was pulled out from the spiritual soil with all its roots, and the entire plant was a natural sword weapon, so perhaps replanting it would still be able to get its detailed information.
If it really didn’t, then it would start from the newly obtained Sword Peacock Spirit Seed.
As he thought in his mind, a crack slightly larger than the damaged Sword Peacock appeared in the spiritual soil.
After placing in the damaged Sword Peacock, Lu Xuan’s mind condensed on the sword.
Suddenly, his expression was delighted as he captured a flash of information in his mind.
[Sword Peacock, Fourth Grade Spiritual Plant, Maturity Stage, Cultivated by dividing sword qi and arranging it into a sword formation.]
[Sword body damaged, heavily polluted by mirage yin filth.]
[Mirage Yin Filth, evil cultivators collect the filthy breath of the extraterrestrial mirage Yin bugs and refine it, it has a strong polluting ability, it is extremely difficult to get rid of it, it can contaminate the spiritual energy of most of the fourth-grade magic weapons, so that it will be reduced to a waste product, unable to use it properly.]
Solution: High-grade jade treasures can slowly absorb and purify mirage yin filth, the higher the grade, the faster the speed of absorption and purification, supplemented by purification talismans and spells will speed up the process.
“So that’s where this came from.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed after digesting the information that flashed through his mind.
This Mirage Yin Filth could contaminate magical artifacts and treasures, and it was extremely difficult to get rid of it, but once one understood its ins and outs, as well as the treasures and arts that restrained it, etc., it would be relatively much easier to solve.
As for the jade treasures as well as pure spirit talisman techniques, he has mastered a lot, not a big problem.
As Lu Xuan thought in his mind, a delicate jade talisman about three inches long flew out from the Taobao Bug Sac, crystal clear and with a cool aura that filled the air, giving one a sense of peace and calmness.
It was the fourth grade treasure that had opened out from the Jade Scale Fruit’s light cluster, the Cloud Mountain Jade Talisman.
